Regular updates in Manchester

“My two children absolutely love First steps, they have been there since they were 8 months and 2 attending a couple of days and now 2 and 4 attending full time Monday to Friday. Every room they’ve been in and moved up into has been brillliant. They have lots of outside time and lots of structured activities as well as free play too, they come home with so many things they’ve made that they’re so proud of! Too many to name but all staff have been amazing, I’ve seen mostly the same faces the whole time as turnover is so low and my children have adored everybody, they’ve made me feel so comfortable and confident leaving them knowing they’re so well looked after, there’s a real family feel. Ian, Luke and Tina have been brilliant, so organised in their management of everything and so helpful with flexibility where I’ve needed. So glad my kids have spent their first years here!”

“Lovely pre-school. My daughter joined at 2 and settled really quickly thanks to Clare and her amazing team. Her speech and counting has come on leaps and bounds in the 3 months she has been at Little Bird’s Nest.”

“My sister used Homelands for her children and when our first came along my wife visited and was really impressed with it so we signed up. I cannot speak highly enough of this place; it has been a wonderful experience for our 1st, 2nd and 3rd child. Obviously all the child development stuff is a key metric and they have all progressed brilliantly during their time there, but for me it is secondary to the loving environment that is so very evident at Homelands. There are so many nice staff there, and even more that have passed through at times; they have a knack for selecting dedicated, caring and professional people. There is core leadership team that have been there throughout our children's time there that I have found very re-assuring, and I will be sad when our youngest leaves because I see them as sort of an extended family! With Homelands your children will be safe and loving hands. ***From Jan 2020 you can drop off at 730 as well (rather than 8)***”

“Both my children attended Elm Cottage Thorn Grove until they started school.... Elm Cottage is the most amazing place for nurturing children and helping them thrive... both my children who are now 5 and 7 still talk about Elm Cottage and how much they miss the staff ❤️ we are so lucky that we sent our kids here and will be forever grateful to all the amazing staff for looking after our 2 kiddos so well over the years xx”

“A great place with an outstanding staff team”

“My son has been going to the Mere for the past 6 months. The nursery are flexible and do their best to accommodate our wishes. Management are very responsive, in spring/summer they are outside lots in their own space which was important to us. But for us the standout is Rachel in the baby room - she is absolutely brilliant, friendly and professional. My son is always visibly excited to see her. I hope she’ll be leading her own room soon!”

“My son has gone to this nursery from the age of 9 months and has started primary this year and I couldnt be more pleased with the care and development the nursery has provided to my son and fully intend my new child to go here as well. They treat my boy like their own and work very hard and closely with parents to ensure they can do the best for the children in their care. New staff integrate beautiful and you can tell they take great care in choosing the right staff that fits best in the nursery :) I have no complaints and I have no doubt they will continue such a high standard of care. Please do not believe any negative reviews as they are blatantly either spam or a troll causing unnecessary distress. I recommend this place so highly that even my extended family with children who don't necessarily live close by have chosen this nursery because how good it is and they love it and so do their kids. Keep up the brilliant work, my boy misses the nursery, that's how good it is”

“Both of my children went to Heald Green Methodist Pre-School from the age of 2-4 and it has been a fantastic experience. We tried a couple of nurseries before but nothing came close to what Fiona and the team provide. They teach with love. The place has great parking and a fantastic outdoor space. I highly recommend!”

“Very good school I am very happy”

“Would highly recommend Happy Kids! All three of my children have attended here and we have been so happy with it. The staff are absolutely wonderful, professional, approachable, caring and understanding. My children have flourished here and it has prepared them for school.”

“Brilliant staff Brilliant Nursery My child is very attached to me but she loves the staff so friendly.”

“I have used Kaizen Law on a number of matters both personally and company (including some complex ones) and have always found their service as being extremely professional and knowledgeable. Well done team & thankyou.”

“A good company to do business with, would recommend.”

“Looked after my fragile parcel. Great service :)”

“Have used Speedy for a while now, they have never let me down and more to the point on more than 1 occasion have got me out of a few tricky logistical situations. Very easy to deal with and good value. I can recommend them 100%”

“Outstanding nursery, the staff are also outstanding, a credit to the nursery.”

“Nice person used her for 3 years”

“Mandie is a great host looking after my Guinea Pigs, Ollie & Dodger. I’ve been taking them over a year now and I won’t use anyone else. She’s a friendly, warm and welcoming lady. The boys love going to stay with her.”

“2nd time my dog has stayed here & he loves it....he gets more personal service than at kennels & I can tell he enjoys his stay as he's not as clingy when I collect him...would definitely recommend to other dog owners”

“Trust this guy with my baby. A really decent guy that genuinely loves the dogs he walks. My little girl loves seeing him everyday. Simon is a huge support and I’d be lost without him. A better dog walker you’d be hard to find. Highly highly highly recommended”

“Truely a professional service from a very caring and responsible lady Cheryl. You can be sure your little friends are in good hands. Cheryl looked after my cat Maxie for a week whilst I was on holiday and did a wonderful job. Highly recommended and I will not hesitate to ask Cheryl to look after my pets again Thank you so much Julia x”

“Joe is very reliable and friendly and goes above and beyond to look after your family pets. Can recommend her”

“My dogs enjoyed their time with Diane as she was the most caring, bubbly person. She was always on it with making sure all her dogs were kept safe and healthy whilst with her. I would recommend her so much.”

“The best dog walking service ever. Excellent and personal”
